A recently discontinued model, this 3.5 to 4oz coffee roaster had electronic controls and a programmed profile, and roasted on the fluid air principle.

Bottom Line: As close to "set and forget" as they come, but durability problems, small capacity, and excess brightness for non-espresso brewing mar this product.
Paul Pratt (quality: 5.7) 01.05.2004 Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Good solid product, easy to use, good even roasts with 110g batch size, little smoke, a little noisy but great fun!

Bruce Harlick (quality: 8.5) 07.03.2002 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: The HWP makes roasting easy, fun, and almost automatic.
Robert Newell (quality: 3.1) 03.04.2002 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Good in a pinch. In the final analysis, get your beans from the big machines!
George Swanson (quality: 7.7) 02.19.2002 Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: You're not really a coffeegeek unless you roast your own!
Jill Stratman (quality: 8.0) 01.21.2002 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Small scale home roasting doesn't get any easier than this.
Kevin Morgan (quality: 8.8) 01.16.2002 Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Good way to get introduced to home roasting.
Ben Alpers (quality: 8.4) 01.15.2002 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Unfortunately, this is the home roaster I'd recommend getting. It does a great job, but has serious quality problems.
Richard Floch (quality: 9.0) 01.13.2002 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Fine machine for limited demand uses and if you like acidy light roasts and pungent dark roasts.
James Schulman (quality: 6.5) 10.25.2001 Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Great coffee, but lousy construction. Please, someone build a good roaster!
Bear Graves (quality: 5.0) 10.20.2001 Rating: 8.8

Robert Garofalo (quality: 2.0) 10.14.2001 Rating: 10.0
Bottom Line: Very happy with unit. Great way to get started
Ed (quality: 5.0) 06.12.2001 Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: Assuming reliability issues don`t bite you, expect better coffee at less cost with this unit.
Mike Buettner (quality: 6.0) 04.11.2001 Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: For the price, the freshness, and the fun, it is hard to go wrong with the HWP.
Ed Gianni (quality: 7.7) 03.24.2001 Rating: 10.0
Bottom Line: Is this fun or what!? And virtually Idiotproof.
Kedar Roy (quality: 6.0) 01.09.2001 Rating: 8.8

John (quality: 4.5) 11.30.2000 Rating: 8.0
